PCTE Membrane Disc, 3.0µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, meticulously crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, is designed for precision in blood assays and rigorous filtration tasks. Although polycarbonate typically exhibits hydrophobic properties, our membrane features a specialized wetting treatment, rendering it hydrophilic for enhanced functionality.

Manufactured using a refined two-stage production process, this membrane adheres to stringent quality standards, allowing for precise control over pore size and density. The outcome is a translucent, smooth, and flat membrane that efficiently captures all particles exceeding its pore size, making it an exceptional choice for sample collection in blood testing and high-purity filtration applications.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Ensures optimal flow control for liquids, capturing 100% of cells larger than the specified pore size.
• Smooth, Glass-like Surface: The planar design enables impeccable particle identification using microscopy techniques.
• Superior Tensile Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), this membrane maintains its pore size and density without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Guarantees cleanliness in tests, promoting consistent and reliable results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes the recovery of critical solutions for reliable outcomes.
• Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Options: Versatile design allows for a wide array of applications based on your specific needs.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents through assays.
• General filtration processes.
• Precise filtration and prefiltration tasks.
• Effective removal of red blood cells from plasma.
